Chapter 379 The Taste of Conspiracy

"General, the city is broken, the city is broken."

Soldiers with bloodstained faces, covered in blood, and in a state of embarrassment, wearing shabby rattan armor, knelt down in front of Zhang Bao.

That old face has gone through too much torture.There was also a broken spear in his hands, still holding on to it.

"General, hurry up and send troops! Otherwise, Cheqi City will be lost!"

Zhang Bao wore black armor and a ring-headed sword on his waist. The expression on his face did not change. He said: "The outer city has been destroyed, so we must defend the inner city. The barbarians are numerous and cannot be defeated. We must be careful." Defend the inner city and await support."

Zhang Bao is tall, handsome, and has bright eyes.

He stepped forward and helped the soldier who reported the message up, and said: "The beacon fire has been lit, and the messenger has been sent out. As long as we can hold on for one day, support will come, and the chariot city cannot be lost!"

The city mainly includes city walls, city gates, urns and moats.

The chariot city was originally built to defend against barbarian invasion, and the city was built very solidly, with many turrets and watchtowers added to the walls.

unfortunately
In order to lure the enemy deeper into the city, the fortresses and barbicans outside the city were basically abandoned, leaving only a few troops to guard the outer city.

Fortunately, in addition to the outer city, Cheqi City also has an inner city.

Although the city is not big, it is more than enough to accommodate 1000 people.

Even because the city is smaller, defending the city has become simpler and easier.

If we were to defend the entire chariot city, with 1000 people scattered on the four walls, there really wouldn't be a single wave of disturbance.

How difficult is it to defend the entire Cheqi City?
"General Zhang, it's just that it will take three days and three nights to get there from Langzhong to Cheqi City even if you don't eat or drink. Not to mention that the scouts will go to report the news. This trip will take at least ten days. How can we keep this?"

The distance from Langzhong to Cheqi City is hundreds of miles.

In addition, the roads are narrow and difficult to walk, and many of them are still in the mountains and forests.

You can get there in three days and three nights in Han, but here, it may take five days and five nights, and you won't be able to get there.

Unless the Han army in Langzhong can fly, it is simply impossible to reach Cheqi City in one day.

Zhang Bao looked at the middle-aged man wearing dark red armor.

This person was originally the guard of Cheqi City. Of course, after Zhang Bao arrived, he naturally transferred all the powers of Cheqi City to Zhang Bao.

Zhang Bao is not only the son of Zhang Fei, the boss of the Brazilian war zone, but also a close confidant of the prince. He has made many meritorious deeds, and the cavalry city guard would not dare to make any mistakes.

But now in this critical moment, he doesn't care much anymore.

When you are about to die, in order to escape, what does a mere fame mean?
"Now His Highness is addicted to women and does not care about worldly affairs. Chaoqi City and even the entire Ba County are in danger of overthrowing. What is the use of holding on for one day? It is better to withdraw to Langzhong and try to wipe out the barbarians."

His meaning is very clear.

The strongest outer city of Cheqi City, Wengcheng, and the fortress have been destroyed.

The inner city can be defended, but for how long?

Everyone's life is also very precious. It's really not worth dying here.

Especially if death has no meaning at all, it is even less worth it.

"Yeah, general, why don't you withdraw and start planning something big again!"

"The Cheqi City is absolutely undefendable now."

"If we withdraw now, we can still succeed. If it is too late, even retreat will be impossible."

Zhang Bao listened to what the people around him said to each other. He knew that the military morale in Cheqi City was completely scattered now. If he could not unite the general's morale, let alone defend the inner city, he was afraid that he would be attacked at any time. To prevent someone from stabbing him in the back, he was tied up and sent away for meritorious service.

"Everyone."

Zhang Bao shouted, and the noisy voices in the hall suddenly fell silent.

"There are some things that you are not clear about. Your Highness is addicted to women, which is actually a strategy to lure the enemy. As for why there will be support within one day, it is that Wang Ping and his generals Fan Qiang and Zhang Da, each leading 4000 people, are already ambushing We are around the Cheqi City, as long as we hold on for one day, reinforcements will surely arrive!"

In order to convince these people, Zhang Bao immediately took out the black prince's edict.

"This is the Crown Prince's edict. Do you think I have deceived you in any way?"

Zhang Bao showed the prepared edict of the prince to the generals present. When the latter looked at it, the original look of despair on their faces suddenly disappeared, and there was a lot of brilliance in their eyes.

"If this is really His Highness's big plan, as the general said, then it makes sense."

Who is your highness?

How could he be hurt by female sex?
When they heard the news, they couldn't believe it.

Now after listening to Zhang Bao's words and reading Liu Chan's edict, it seems that all the doubts have been solved.

"If that's the case, let's not say we have to defend Cheqi City for one day, but we have to defend it for ten days. So what?"

I used to think there was no hope of defending Cheqi City.

Even staying in Badi was hopeless.

But now Liu Chan's edict has given them hope again.

"It doesn't take ten days. We only need to hold on for one day, and at most three days. Then the Linjun barbarians will be destroyed by us. There are also internal reinforcements from our Han army among this barbarian army. You don't need to worry."

"In that case, I will quickly go to the inner city and deploy the defense."

By now, everyone has understood.

Deliberately losing the chariot city was the original strategy of His Highness the Crown Prince.

Regardless of whether it was the removal of the common people or the removal of most of the sergeants.

His Highness is still pretending to be obsessed with women.

All the mysteries have already surfaced.

"The defense of the inner city will be left to the general. I have one more thing to do when I enter the mansion."

Pu Yun, the princess of the Jin people.

It's time to restrain you.

His eyes flashed coldly and he immediately headed towards the inner city mansion.

In the mansion, the formerly plump and frail woman has now returned to her previous appearance.

No barbarian girl is weak.

As a princess, she is the same.

She was dressed in a woman's clothing, with delicate silver ornaments on her fair skin. She held a scimitar in her hand, the sharp blade flashing with cold light.

She had already heard the shouts of killing outside the city.

The chariot city was destroyed, and Danqu was about to be brought under the rule of the Ba people. This was only the beginning, not the end.

After Cheqi City was defeated, Langzhong was next, until all the Han people were driven out of Badi!
but
Now she has new worries.

Chaqi City is breached, what should Zhang Bao do with him?

As a Han noble, the son of the Han chariot general Zhang Fei, and an official in the East Palace of the Han prince Liu Chan, his status can only be described as self-evident.

It was not an easy thing to convince Lin Jun and his uncle Wang to agree to let him live.

But if you kill.
She was a little reluctant to give up.

snort!
He can treat me as a slave, but I can't treat him as a male favorite?
Just when she was having wild thoughts.

squeak~
The door was suddenly pushed open.

A young general with a gloomy face appeared at the door wearing black armor, holding a ring-shou sword in his hand. ,

It was Zhang Bao.

Zhang Bao's arrival was indeed beyond Pu Yun's expectation, but the expression on her face did not change much after the initial surprise.

Instead, he raised his chin slightly, looking at Zhang Bao in a condescending manner.

"Why are you here?"

"This is my place, why can't I come?" Seeing that the woman was not flustered, but rather arrogant, Zhang Bao smiled bitterly and shook his head, which seemed to understand her thoughts.

And this wry smile, in Pu Yun's eyes, had another meaning.

"The barbarian army outside the city is attacking the city. You, a thousand Han troops, will never be able to defend the chariot city."

Zhang Bao nodded.

"If we talk about defending the city for a long time, we won't be able to defend it, but if we can defend it for a few days, there will still be no problem."

"No! We can't even defend it for a few days. The army attacking the city already knows the defense plan of the Chariot City. Maybe the city will be broken tonight."

Pu Yun walked towards Zhang Bao with burning eyes, looking at his strong figure, broad shoulders, and knife-like face.

She couldn't help but touch it.

Different from the passive acceptance before, at this moment, she is not his slave, she is the master at this moment!
And the man in front of him is his male favorite!
"If you are willing to surrender now, I will let them let you live. I can save your life and make you my male favorite."

"Male pet?"

Zhang Bao sneered and said: "I have known about you leaking the defense plan for a long time. Now, I will tell you in the same words. If you can cooperate with me to better capture the barbarian troops inside and outside the Cavalry City, I can give you a way to survive."

Give me a way out?
Pu Yun burst out laughing as if she heard something funny.

"Just 1000 people? Even if you are the champion, you can't use 1000 people to fight against 2 people!" "Of course it's not just me and 1000 people."

Zhang Bao's words made the smile on Pu Yun's face freeze.

"Where do you have reinforcements?"

Hey ~
Looking at Pu Yun's face, Zhang Bao sighed, and immediately hugged her tightly with one hand, while using the other hand, he pulled out the ring-shou knife from his waist.

Clang~
The ring-shou knife was sharp, Zhang Bao showed no mercy, and immediately slashed across Pu Yun's neck.

In the latter's face of disbelief and fierce struggle, the unbearable and angry eyes slowly lost their light.

That look seemed to say: Why do you want to kill me?I didn't even think about killing you!
Zhang Bao closed his wide eyes with his hands.

Just a barbarian girl!

Anyone who dares to thwart my great plan will be killed by me!
No one can come!
Just after Zhang Bao killed Pu Yun, the east gate of Chaqi City was opened.

A steady stream of barbarian troops broke in from the east gate.

They formed a torrent and immediately headed towards the inner city.

There were no obstacles at all along the way.

The remaining people who had not left became the targets of their murderous intentions.

became the target of their plunder.

"The outer city was destroyed, as well as the inner city."

Lin Jun has seen the defense plan of Chaqi City, and he has a clear understanding of the situation in the city.

"Only by completely conquering the cavalry city can we control Danqu. There are [-] people near Danqu. If we can mobilize them all, we will be able to recruit [-] more soldiers and [-] logistics personnel. "

If he can achieve this goal, there is no doubt that his strength will reach a higher level.

"Pass my order to capture the inner city before dawn!"

Most of the night has passed, and a touch of gold on the horizon seems to have risen.

Capture Chaqi City tonight!
ten days later.

Capture Langzhong!

The mountains and forests of Nanjun, Ba County, belong to my era, Linjun, and it is about to begin.

"coming!"

On the top of the inner city, Zhang Bao, who had just finished killing someone, looked grim.

He looked at the barbarians appearing in twos and threes under the inner city with a heavy heart.

These barbarians all wore armor.

Although it is rattan armor and paper armor, which is not as good as the iron armor of the Han people, they have a large number of people, and the quantitative change has caused a qualitative change.

"Prepare the tools to defend the city, we must defend the inner city!"

Defending the inner city can attract the attention of the barbarians.

The longer he defends, the more barbarian troops will be attracted to Chariot City.

When reinforcements arrive, more barbarians can be eradicated, and His Highness's mission of pacifying Ba County can be completed more quickly.

Zhang Bao looked at the golden juice being boiled in the city, the mountains of arrows, rolling logs, and kerosene. He finally felt a sense of security.

No matter what, it should be no problem to defend the inner city for one day.

If he were facing Wei Jun, he might not have such confidence.

But this is a barbarian army.

The Wei army made good use of siege equipment and had many ways to attack the inner city, but this barbarian army could only use ladders from beginning to end and had no other skills, which made it much easier to deal with.

But even so, Zhang Bao did not dare to take it lightly.

"Come on!"

"Kill!"

Below the inner city, the barbarian soldiers set up ladders and charged towards the inner city.

Perhaps the attack on the outer city gave them a lot of confidence, so they had better morale when attacking the inner city.

boom!
boom!
boom!
The siege soldiers charged head-first, provoking a response from the inner city with a huge crash.

"Shoot!" Zhang Bao yelled.

Han archers stood on both sides of the city wall, arrows flying like rain, blocking the attacking barbarian soldiers from outside the city.

Next, a group of barbarian warriors stood on the front line. They covered their bodies with shields and rushed up the city wall with shouts.

"Let's go together! Rush into the inner city and seal the title of Lord of Lin!"

More and more ladders are being set up in the inner city.

But because of the buildings outside the inner city, it was difficult for the barbarian soldiers to deploy.

is the reason
Although there were more than a dozen people riding ladders on the inner city wall, the inner city defenders were able to deal with them fairly well.

However.
The barbarian army is really not afraid of death.

Fire oil was poured down, logs rolled down, and rocks fell down
Facing the sharp attack on the city defenders, the barbarian army remained fearless and fearless, and gradually some people boarded the inner city.

"Kill!"

The desperate fighting between the two armies was shocking and dripping with blood. Before they could wash off the blood on their bodies, the next row of enemies had already rushed forward.

Until the sun gradually rises, the inner city still stands firmly in the chariot city, and may not be captured.

time!

time!

Now time is life.

The beacon fire in the chariot city has been ignited.

If the inner city cannot be captured within five days, Han reinforcements will arrive soon.

He doesn't have so much time.

So ever.

Lin Jun came down to demolish the houses outside the inner city, and at the same time built more ladders and siege engines.

until that afternoon.

All the houses outside the inner city were demolished.

And Lin Jun also ordered the attack.

This time, he will capture the inner city in the shortest possible time!
"Siege! Siege!"

"If we attack the city in one day, the Tiger God will protect us!"

"For the tribe!"

The barbarian army attacked the city, a strong wind suddenly rose, and the flags were flapping.

The Han army closed the city gates tightly and guarded the city walls. Arrows came towards them. The barbarian soldiers hid behind their shields, charged into battle, and stormed the city walls.

The Han army defended relentlessly and threw down rolling logs and stones.

"Ahhh~"

The screams continued for a while.

The barbarian troops were beaten down the city one after another.

However, the barbarian army did not give up the attack on the city, and they climbed to the top of the city again.The soldiers of the Han army were prepared in advance and picked up axes and long knives to slash fiercely. The warriors in the barbarian army who dared to die were teetering and falling one after another.

On the top of the city, Han soldiers faced the enemy and charged bravely.

This time, we fought for a whole day and a whole night.

However.
The inner city was still not captured.

By now, Lin Jun was already a little panicked.

This rumor is different!

Doesn’t it mean that the Han army has lost its military morale?

Why does the inner city defense seem to be well prepared?
He looked at the tragic battlefield, with corpses everywhere and arrows flying everywhere.

Screams could be heard endlessly, and despite such an intense siege, the inner city was still captured.

If the Han army had lost its morale, how could it be possible that the inner city could have been defended for so long?

At this moment, Lin Jun smelled a conspiracy, and he already wanted to withdraw his troops.
